Fleabag Series 1 & 2 Box Set [DVD]

It was a present & the recipient was most grateful

very funny and most enjoyabale.

Are there still people who haven't watched Fleabag? For the uninitiated, the two series are written from the point of view of a highly individual, fiercely independent but self-loathing woman. Everyone is disfunctional and the line between love and loathing is often a very finely drawn one. The first time I watched it I got through series 1 thinking I didn't like it - or her - much but series 2 won me over and now I can appreciate the arc of the central character's development through the drama.Yes, this is drama. TV drama, being innovative and provocative and never, ever dull. All the performances are excellent, with Phoebe W-B, Olivia Colman and Andrew 'the sexy priest' as stand-outs. If you're anything like me, it will make you genuinely laugh out loud one moment and have you blubbing the next.So sit down with your tissues to hand, tipple of choice nearby and binge, binge, binge.

Dvd's in good condition, many thanks

Life can be ghastly. With constant meaningful glances at the camera, thirty-three year old Fleabag makes us aware of what she has to put up with every single day. So much is so pretentious, so asinine. She herself does not exactly attract - foul mouthed, scathing, nothing seeming to please (except some of the sex, but that only temporarily).For much of Season 1, I wondered what all the fuss was about. How come the acclaim? In due course much became clearer, Fleabag herself earning more understanding, more sympathy. Wincingly well portrayed is one out of tune with the world, perhaps so much so because of two deaths in her life. Conscience ever jabs about the loss of her best mate, for which she feels responsible.Season 2 hits the ground running, belonging to a higher league - this in no small part due to the introduction of Andrew Scott as a highly unconventional priest. Such charm! Can even Fleabag be about to find happiness?Acting throughout is great: Bill Paterson as dithering dad, never the same since death of his wife; Olivia Colman hilariously horrible as Fleabag's future step-mum; Sian Clifford as the neurotic sister forever at odds, but so often needing help.Abrasive fare. This is life. Simply get on with it - the daily annoyances and embarrassments, excruciating family get-togethers, award ceremonies where pretentiousness reigns, brittle relationships, even the occasional punch-up.Salute here Phoebe Waller- Bridge's brainchild - scripts finely crafted, acting of a high order.Wrong to laugh at others' misfortune? If so, millions of fans have to plead guilty.

I had heard a lot about this series, but didn't think it was for me. But I was desperate for something to watch (insomnia) and after seeing Killing Eve - written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge - I thought I'd give it a try. Loved it! It is funny, sad, thought provoking and shocking! It was so watchable, and despite being so tired, I found myself going, 'oh, just one more episode' I can't say I particularly liked Fleabag (the character) all the time, but I felt sorry for her, and defensive of her when the other characters were just assuming the worst of her. All human nature was there to see. It had me laughing out loud, squirming with distaste, crying with sorrow and engrossed all the way through the too few episodes. Every character was well written and wonderfully portrayed by some of my favourite actors, just showing how talented they are. Now I know what all the fuss was about. If like me, you think its not for you, give it a try and you too might fall in love with Fleabag (the series and the character).

Funny script and amazing acting and Funny humour.

So crash course if by any chance you don’t know fleabag. First point, you do know fleabag, there is a bit of her in you and everyone you know. She is a flawed, fun, flirty, foul mouthed creation who will make you laugh out loud and bring a tear to your eye. Second point, each series is a stand alone in themselves and third and final point, these series have become cult, not for nothing has pheobie Waller bridge become hot property.
